An Awesome Message From a Pro-life Prodigy

I saw Lia Mills first pro-life video over a year ago and very impressed. She is truly a phenomenal young lady and a real pro-life prodigy. Her latest video below is awesome.  I can only imagine how proud her parents must be. I pray that more youths and even adults follow her example and passion in spreading the truth and protecting the sanctity of human life.

Please watch the following video and then visit the related article for more information and videos on Lia's work to protect life.

10 Things to Pray For and With Your Child
We all want the best for our children, and prayer can be an important part of helping them to grow up. But how should we pray for them and with them?
Well, there's no better guide for prayer than listening to Jesus. When His friends asked him how to pray, He suggested an outline we have come to know as “The Lord's Prayer.”
This “10-Ways” list is based on these words of Jesus:
“Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored. Your kingdom come, Your will be done - in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, as we forgive the sins of others. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory. Forever and ever. Amen.” 
Pray that your kids make a real connection with God: this is the starting place. The fact of prayer assumes a God who is not distant. This is where we all must begin. 
Pray that your children honor the Creator: It's important that kids learn to believe in a real God, a Being of light and power who we can't help but respect and honor – a Creator they can revere rather than the light-weight “Heavenly Santa Clause” of myth. Prayer becomes more meaningful in the context of respect and reverence. 
Pray they translate that honor into action: Kids who honor God are more inclined to participate in their Creator's work. It's the way “Thy will be done” turns into, “Yes, and we'll do it every day.” 
Pray that they are well-equipped to meet every daily need: Prayer as a vehicle to honoring God, is less concerned with “God - give me what I want”, or “me, me, me” as a matter of course. But it is absolutely appropriate to pray that our kids acquire the wisdom and the skills to live in freedom, without going hungry and without fear.

Teens and ‘Sextortion’

The following article by L. Brent Bozell is something all parents should read. Teens are already facing various pressures and temptations from a sex saturated society, but this latest threat is just sick and twisted.

Teens and ‘Sextortion’

According to the article, perverted individuals are using social network sites to blackmail teens into taking indecent photos of themselves or even committing sexual acts. It is frightening to think about how much of a threat that sites like facebook or myspace have become to our kids. You don't have to look very far to find reports of teens who have gone as far as suicide all because of harassment they endured on social network sites.

Please read the article above as well as those below just so you can become aware for the sake of protecting your children. Pray for our children as well. It just seems that with each passing year our world becomes a darker and more threatening place for our kids.
